In their new novel, USA Today
bestsellers William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone bring back those
beloved, bumbling cowboys, Bo Creel and Scratch Morton. As usual,
despite their best efforts, deep trouble has a way of tracking them
down…

Knocking On Trouble’s Door

There’s nothing like
family. At least that’s what people say. But when Bo and Scratch come
home to Bear Creek for a long-overdue visit, Bo’s family kindly invites
him to turn around and leave. His old friends and neighbors turn tail
and run when they see him. Next thing he knows, he’s in jail for the
brutal murder of two saloon girls in neighboring Cottonwood.
Unfortunately, the real killer looks astonishingly like Bo. Now, with
his buddy in jail, Scratch needs to ride to the rescue, if he can escape
the clutches of the beautiful assistant to a traveling snake oil
salesman. With Bear Creek in an uproar, a man with Bo Creel’s face and
body is about to kill again. And the worst is still hovering on the
horizon: a family secret that could turn Bo’s hair bone-white.

About J.A. Johnstone:

Being the all around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.

Bill, as he preferred to be called, began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western History library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.

“Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling and creating believable characters. ‘Keep the historical facts accurate,’ he would say. ‘Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.’”

About William W. Johnstone:

Just to give you a brief rundown on who William W. Johnstone is, here are the basic facts. He was born in Southern Missouri, the youngest of four kids. His father was a minister and his mother was a schoolteacher.

He quit school when he was fifteen and joined a carnival after getting kicked out of the FFL (for being underage), but he went back and finished high school in 1957. After that he worked as a deputy sheriff, did a hitch in the army, came back and went into radio broadcasting, where he worked for sixteen years.

Johnstone started writing in 1970, but he didn't get published until late 1979. He has written almost a hundred books including the best-selling Ashes series and the Mountain Man series. He began writing full-time in the early 1980s and hasn't stopped since. His first published book was THE DEVIL'S KISS and his favorite, so far, is THE LAST OF THE DOG TEAM.
